Dear Colleague, Welcome to the fourth edition of Embedded Vision Insights, the newsletter of the Embedded Vision Alliance. This past month has been a productive one for the Embedded Vision Alliance. In early December, the Alliance launched the Embedded Vision Academy, a free online training facility for embedded vision product developers. The Academy incorporates training […]

Dear Colleague, Welcome to the premier 2012 edition of Embedded Vision Insights, the newsletter of the Embedded Vision Alliance. Last week's Consumer Electronics Show provided a plethora of reminders that embedded vision is no longer just the promising future but is also the already-successful present. Embedded Vision Alliance member CEVA, for example, publicly released a

Dear Colleague, Shortly after declaring bankruptcy on January 19th, longstanding photography pioneer Eastman Kodak announced last week that it was winding down its digital imaging product line this year, focusing going forward on patent licenses, printers, enterprise services, photo labs and (ironically) disposable silver halide film-based cameras. Yet, as anyone who uses online services such

Another day, another personal health-themed news post. Thanks to coverage I saw in GigaOm, I'm able to tell you about Netra, a several-dollar cameraphone add-on originally developed at MIT that diagnoses nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. As Kevin Tofel's writeup explains, "The Netra clips to a phone and users tap buttons on the touchscreen display until

To date, the bulk of embedded vision applications I've written about have focused their spectral attention on visible light frequencies, predominantly because they employ the same conventional image sensors found in digital still and video cameras, webcams, smartphones and tablets, computers and displays, and the like. However, plenty of embedded vision functions also exist that

Back in mid-August, I mentioned the Twin Days Festival held each year in Twinburg, Ohio, and (perhaps not surprising to you at this point) attended by identical twins around the world. Researchers from the University of Notre Dame also regularly attend the Twin Days Festival, capturing images of those identical twins and using those photographs

In December 2011, IMS Research hosted the inaugural Touch Gesture Motion Conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Downtown Austin. The goal of the event was to discuss how the human machine interface was evolving using touch, gesture & motion (with a little discussion on voice) technologies. The event was a roaring success with more

I've devoted a fair amount of focus in recent months to embedded vision's positive impacts on personal health monitoring; to discern pulse rate, for example, along with respiration and blood alcohol content. And thanks to EETimes' Sylvie Barak, I've now got another candidate to add to the list. As one of a series of startups

By Jon Cropley Principal Analyst IMS Research Video content analysis (VCA) software can be run on standard off-the-shelf computers or embedded in video surveillance devices such as network cameras and encoders. In server-based solutions, the analysis is usually done centrally with the full video stream sent across the network. In embedded solutions, the VCA software

By William Rhodes IMS Research At the end of 2010, IMS Research forecast the increased traction of cloud-based video surveillance, also known as Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS). The market certainly picked up in 2011, with notable sales growth at some of the vendors in this space. Overall, the market grew by around 20-30%.
